The government launched disaster relief work. In fact, the damage of the earthquake was not great. Its epicenter was in the desert, and when it reached Phoenix, the magnitude of the earthquake was very small.
Although the buildings in the city were tall, they were built well and had good earthquake resistance. There were no collapses or deaths. There were only some people who fled in fear after the earthquake and there were stampedes.
Houses in the surrounding towns collapsed. There were many self-built houses in the American countryside. These small buildings were beautiful, but they were not earthquake resistant.
Overall, the earthquake was only a small episode. The death toll was five people.
These five people did not die directly from the earthquake, but after the earthquake, some car owners panicked, causing a series of car accidents. These five people were all killed in car accidents.
Li Du was very tired. He kicked over a bucket of water and glared at Hans. "Where did you get the news that there will be another big earthquake?"
The earthquake bureau vigorously refuted the rumors, saying that earthquakes could not be predicted, and that the news that there would be a big earthquake was false.
Hans smiled. "Well, there's nothing wrong with being careful, right? You see, the earthquake bureau also said that it's better for everyone to live in the wild for a few days. "
Li Du had been tormented the day before. He had worked all afternoon, and it was cold at night. At this time, he was exhausted.
After all, the earthquake had just happened, and everyone had to be careful.
Although extremely tired, Li Du did not dare to go into the house to sleep. He could only stay at the door and run if the situation was bad.
He could not even sleep at the door. Sophie wanted to go to town to help, so Li Du had to volunteer to help clean up the town that had suffered heavy losses.
After waiting for another day, there were no aftershocks.
After testing and verification, the earthquake bureau announced that the earthquake had passed and the matter was over.
Li Du could finally have a good night's sleep.
When he woke up, he felt his muscles were sore. He found Hans and said, "Come, fulfill your promise. Give me a massage and make me feel good."
Hans grinned and said, "You want to feel good, don't you? I'll take you to a place. "
Li Du looked at his face and knew what he was going to do. He sneered. "Go to the red light district? Go away, I'm not going. I want you to give me a massage. That's your promise. "
Hans waved his hand and said, "Not the red-light district, just a massage parlor opened by a Korean. It's very famous in Phoenix. Their masseuses are very good at massaging."
He also introduced that this massage parlor had Korean cuisine, hot spring baths, Korean song and dance performances, and so on.
Li Du was tempted when he heard that there was a hot spring. He had been sleeping outside for the past two days, and his bones were stiff from the cold.
Thus, he let Hans go and followed him to the so-called high-end South Korean leisure bath center.
In the end, the massage parlor was located in a private house in the suburbs. Although the house was quite big, Li Du could not tell that it had the aura of a high-end leisure bath center.
He looked at Hans suspiciously. "This is the place?"
Hans nodded excitedly. "It's here!"
After the two of them drove in, a middle-aged Korean man came out to greet them. His furtive manner made Li Du feel uneasy.
"Is there really a hot spring here?" Li Du asked.
There were only a few hot springs in Phoenix, and he knew all of them. He had never heard of one here.
Hans snickered, "Isn't a warm bath the same? He has a super large bath here. The water is very comfortable, just like a hot spring. "
Li Du was furious. "Then what about the Korean song and dance performances you mentioned?"
"You order a girl, and she can perform for you. They even have Korean striptease." Hans's smile became even more wicked.
Li Du wanted to punch him, and raised his fist.
Hans was scared, and quickly waved his hand. "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. There really is a massage here. Really, there's a Korean bone massage, very authentic."
Li Du put down his fist. He shouldn't have trusted Hans.
Hans was familiar with the place, and he put his arm around the sneaky old man's shoulder. They shoved Li Du into a small room, and then left in a hurry.
After a while, a row of young girls came in and stood in front of him. One of the girls leading the group asked in a sweet voice, "Sir, what service do you need? Can I give you a list of the services? "
Li Du said, "I need a massage, a real massage."
The young girl was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay, then please lie down, I'll go and prepare."
These people left, and then a middle-aged woman came in. Her arms were thick, and her body was twice as strong as Li Du's.
Li Du was satisfied. This was the kind of person he wanted to have a massage.
The massage began, and it took a hundred minutes. The middle-aged woman's technique was really good, and she was strong enough to relax Li Du's tense muscles.
He was enjoying the massage when suddenly someone knocked on the door. "Hello, please open the door."
The middle-aged woman covered Li Du's back with a towel. She went to open the door, and a figure rushed in, holding a police badge and shouting, "Police, squat down!"
There were similar shouts outside. This was a group of police officers coming to arrest a prostitute.
Li Du was stunned. He raised his hand and said, "Officer, I'm here for a massage!"
He was really depressed. How could he be so unlucky? It was just a massage, and he happened to run into the police arresting a prostitute?!
The police officer was not very unreasonable or rude. He looked at Li Du's underwear, and then at the panic-stricken middle-aged woman next to him. He frowned and said, "You're here for a massage?"
Li Du nodded quickly. "Yes, officer, it's a normal massage. I've been participating in disaster relief for the past two days. I'm very tired, so I came out for a massage today."
The police officer looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you involved in voluntary disaster relief?"
Li Du said, "Yes, yes, and I met your colleague when I was doing disaster relief. One of your colleagues is in charge of maintaining law and order there. We know each other. You can ask her."
The police officer said, "Which colleague?"
Li Du had to call Luo Qun. Luo Qun spoke to the police officer, who asked him to wait outside, saying that he would only be allowed to leave if his story was verified.
Forty minutes later, Luo Qun arrived with the siren of a police car.
They were not from the same police station, but they knew each other. Luo Qun flashed her badge and was let in.
When she saw Li Du, she frowned. "You're here to visit a prostitute? Does Sophie know? "
Li Du said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here for a massage!"
Luo Qun sneered, "All men would say that at this time."
Li Du said helplessly, "I'm really here for a massage. I'm too tired these past two days!"
Luo Qun nodded and said, "No need to explain."
"You don't believe me?" Li Du was angry, really angry.
Luo Qun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Of course I believe you. I was just teasing you. With a fiancée like Sophie, I don't believe you would still be interested in these women."
Li Du said, "It has nothing to do with my fiancée. I'm just that upright!"
Hans, who was in handcuffs, was pulled out. When he saw the two of them, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Help!"
